Rangeland Biodiversity and Climate Variability
Rangeland biodiversity related closely with climate variability. Rainfall plays an important role in arid
rangeland restoration. Under favorable conditions, one-year grazing exclusion considerably enhanced
species richness ...
Assessment of different supplemental feeding strategies including cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) to enhance sheep productivity in Chakwal, Pakistan
Proceeding paper on Assessment of different supplemental feeding strategies including cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) to enhance sheep productivity in Chakwal, Pakistan:
In arid and semiarid areas, livestock production ...
The vulnerability of native rangeland plant species to global climate change in the West Asia and North African regions
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of climate change on the geographical
distribution of selected native species from two areas from West Asia and North Africa.
Three species representing two genera were selected for ...
Intake pattern and nutrient supply of lactating sheep selecting dried forage from woody plants and straw offered in binary or multiple choice
This study investigated whether offering either binary or multiple choice among low quality
forages has an effect on intake and feeding behaviour compared to no-choice situations
where only one single low-quality forage ...
Impact of grazing on soil, vegetation and ewe production performances in a semi-arid rangeland
Controlled grazing is considered a good management strategy to maintain or increase the live weight of livestock and to reduce vegetation degradation of rangelands. The present study investigated soil characteristics, ...
Revegetation of marginal saline rangelands of southern Tunisia using pastoral halophytes
Revegetation of marginalised rangelands using pastoral halophytes is considered an appropriate scientific and environmental approach to rehabilitation. Atriplex halimus L. (Amaranthaceae), A. mollis Desf. (Amaranthaceae), ...
Spineless fodder cactus under different land use and production systems in rainfed semi-arid tropics of India
Spineless forage cactus can be a cost-effective solution for the livestock keepers of semi-arid tropics by providing a stable source of nutritive forage capable of maintaining healthy and productive herds/flocks especially ...
The effect of soil volume on the growth of roots and canopy of Opuntia ficus-indica
Proceeding paper on The effect of soil volume on the growth of roots and canopy of Opuntia ficus-indica: The influence of soil volume on root development and canopy growth rates of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) was ...
Seed germination behaviour as influenced by physical and chemical treatments in Grewia tenax (Forssk.)
Grewia tenax (Forssk.) Fiori is a multi-purpose shrub indigenous to Indian Thar desert. It grows naturally in the wastelands, rangelands and other uncultivated lands during the rainy season, and provides green fodder to ...
Assessing the risk of flooding in Central Tunisia
Digital elevation models (DEM) can be used to derive a wealth of information about land surface morphology. When analyzed using GIS information about stream channels and watersheds it can determine the flow of water over ...
